Exclamation Voting for the 2014 IceInSpace Astronomy Calendar now open!

Voting for the IceInSpace Calendar Competition for 2014 is now open! Just by voting, you can win a prize pack valued at $110. Click here to vote!



So it's over to you! During May, we had some of IceInSpace's best astrophotographers submit their images. We had an amazing response, with 242 images submitted by 69 different photographers. The quality of images was absolutely stunning - we were blown away by the talent and will be pleased to feature ANY of those images in the 2014 calendar!

David (Astrovisuals) and I have now narrowed those images down to 5 in each category across 13 categories, and now it's up to you! You get to select your favourite images in each category, and the winning images will be used in the 2014 IceInSpace Astronomy Calendar.

So get voting, and please share the link with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter and more.

For more information, see the IceInSpace Calendar Competition Rules and Info Page.

The voting is coming along very well, with a great response so far.

It's taking people an average of 9 minutes to complete the survey - which is great, because it shows that they're really considering each category, looking at the large shots etc. Not just whizzing through it.

The quality of the images is stunning and I can't wait to see the final results.

The winner of the voting competition is Patti Barrett from the USA.

Patti found out about the competition on Facebook and voted for her favourite images. Just by voting, she was entered into the draw (along with 1100 other people!) and was drawn randomly out of the virtual barrel.

She wins 5 free calendars and 10 free IceInSpace Stickers.

Thanks so much to everyone for voting and helping to choose the images that will make up the 2014 IceInSpace Astronomy Calendar!
